UK 2015 General election - Page 3

Jimbuna · 04-02-15, 05:41 AM

Let us not go down the lines of the 'Heartless Tories' thread with the introduction of name calling etc.

Please stay on topic as previously agreed.

STEED · 04-02-15, 07:51 AM

Jim its a fact, I have encountered it any how it was just a one off comment.

I was going to watch the leaders debate tonight but it clashes with The Avengers and I rather watch that. If the debate goes up on YouTube I may watch it on there.

I really feel this needs to be done..

Wednesday Parliament is dissolved
Thursday General Election

So we don't have all this BS lies guff kissing babies look at me rubbish anymore.

So, first commercial break...has anyone else lost the will to live?

I think the highlight so far was Nigel Farage blaming HIV immigrants who selfishly don't want to die, coming over here and stealing our NHS.
The man will just not miss an opportunity to bring immigration or the EU into anything will he? Probably because anti-EU and anti-immigration is about all of the policy he has...

Anyway, the three ladies of the debate seem to be doing the best, Plaid Cymru, the SNP and the Greens, the SNP throwing quite a few "We'll work with you" quotes at Labour.

Next up...immigration.

Something tells me that Nige is going to love this one.

Oberon · 04-02-15, 04:44 PM

And there we are...well, that was...different.

The ladies won that one, fair and square, Nicola Sturgeon, Leanne Wood and Natalie Bennett upstaged the others at every opportunity they got. I suspect that the SNP is going to do very well out of this coming election if Sturgeons performance tonight was anything to go by.

PART ONE

Good morning everyone.

Had my cold cross bun for breakfast now drinking my coffee and yes I am about to watch the leaders debate on YouTube.

Look at Cameron in the introduction he looks like a man who just found out hes got no pants on.

Unlike the live debate I can pause it and post comments.

MORE COMMENTS ON THE WAY..

Opening statements
Natalie Bennett Greens, no cock up good start
Nigel Farage UKIP, yes we know
Nick Clegg Libs, what!
Nicola Sturgeon SNP, hmmmm
David Cameron Cons, and here comes the BS
Leanne Wood PC, so so
Ed Miliband Lab, yes mmmmm

MORE COMMENTS ON THE WAY..

Hang on Cameron two more years of cuts! I have heard from your party cuts up to 2020!

Leanne Wood, hear hear

Nick Clegg attacks Cameron...WHAT!

Ed Miliband is right about tax havens the Cons/UKIP voted against a EU bill on this one.

Nigel Farage is right our national debt has doubled.

Leanne Wood, hear hear

Nigel Farage going bit nuts top that man up with a pint of beer.

Natalie Bennett is speaking and Nigel Farage looks like hes taking a leak and David Cameron looks angry.

MORE COMMENTS ON THE WAY..

Ed Miliband is right Cameron keeps banging on about the past.

Leanne Wood is asking you a question Ed and your ducking it.

Nicola Sturgeon just gave Dave and Ed a hard verbal punch.

Ed that was a good statement.

MORE COMMENTS ON THE WAY..

NHS next

Standards comments so far and Clegg looks very relaxed.

Nicola Sturgeon just gave Nigel a hard verbal punch.

Nicola Sturgeon I agree no privatization of the NHS

Dave you just had ago at Ed using the NHS as a weapon and your doing the same! WTF

Dave I can't see my GP within seven days it takes me two or three bloody weeks!

END OF PART ONE

MORE COMMENTS ON THE WAY IN PART TWO

Eichhörnchen · 04-03-15, 05:59 AM

Just had our polling-cards stuffed through the door 10mins ago. It's so exciting, I can hardly wait.

Agreed, the women performed very, especially Sturgeon.

As for the men, Miliband missed his one opportunity to upstage Cameron, who in effect it could be argued had everything go his way in the overall picture.

Farage was same old same old and Clegg appears to be almost the forgotten man in the eyes of the electorate these days.

My current assessment is leaning toward a hung parliament with the odds on a coalition stacked in favour of Labour unless the LibDems and UKIP manage to outweigh the SNP in numbers of seats gained.

The million dollar question being...what price will the SNP exact from Labour?

STEED · 04-03-15, 06:51 AM

PART TWO

Immigration

Nigel straight forward not OTT.

Looks like all the rest are against Nigel.

Same old worn out statements its getting boring.

Glad that bit is over it was a real drag.

Sorry your all wrong the debt monster is here to stay. Quick hand out a copy of Planet Ponzi to them all.

Education now not a topic that dose much for me.

Seems the fire has gone out in the debate.

Leanne Wood hang parliament, sounds good to me...lol. yes i know she meant hung.

Hang on Cameron you and your spin said we were not in recession we were in a depression and now you say recession! Make your bloody mind up!

I agree with Ed about zero hour contracts but will the employer after three months give them a proper contract. I don't think so.

Leaders final statements coming up next

Natalie Bennett Greens, so so no cock up
Nigel Farage UKIP, punchy
Nick Clegg Libs, sounds like hes ready to join Dave again
Nicola Sturgeon SNP, good general statement
David Cameron Cons, clearly hard times with him
Leanne Wood PC, stuck up for wales no question
Ed Miliband Lab, good but no real punch

That's a rap

I'm getting myself a light lunch and coffee and then deliver my verdict of this debate.

If you missed it like me here it is

STEED · 04-03-15, 09:01 AM

Well where do I start.

How about over all points out of 10 on the way they came across answered question and asked questions.

Natalie Bennett Greens - 5
Nigel Farage UKIP - 7
Nick Clegg Libs - 4
Nicola Sturgeon SNP - 9
David Cameron Cons - 7
Leanne Wood PC - 8
Ed Miliband Lab - 7

Summery

Natalie Bennett still has a long way to go but I have to say she did not cock up like she did on LBC radio interview a few months ago.

Nigel Farage came across well but nothing new and your left with what about this and that Nigel.

Nick Clegg the man of 2010 what has gone wrong? The fire and passion nothing more than a lack luster effort, oh dear not enough vitamins.

Nicola Sturgeon looked like I'm here live with it now lets get down to business, bit of a surprise for me. She came across well and held her ground as well.

David Cameron banging the same old drum look at the last labour government did, yes we know but once again the bulk of the recession was caused by the banks. And many true facts were hidden in agenda of spin and lies.

Leanne Wood another woman who came across well and fought for her corner that of wales and no problem knocking Ed and Dave down.

Ed Miliband not bad but not one hard verbal punch landed on Dave why? I agreed with some what you said but being nice dose make it hard getting into No.10 and Ed you got a bigger battle than Dave.

We are going to get a hung parliament again and UKIP SNP and DUP will be in the talks once the votes are all in. Nigel bangs the drum with the same old slogan but Ed and Dave are doing the same and the voters are getting fed up with it all and it shows.

The way I see it, Dave will be back with Nick but he may need another.

STEED · 04-04-15, 04:53 AM

Next leaders debate will be made up of only the opposition leaders, Dave and Nick will not be there on April 16th on the BBC.

Ed Miliband
Nigel Farage
Nicola Sturgeon
Leanne Wood
Natalie Bennett

My money is on Nicola Sturgeon to come top followed closely by Nigel Farage or Leanne Wood.

Going to be interesting to see the comments, after one of the parties have won the election.

Tony Blair speaks..

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32198938

Is this wise as he is still a very much hated man.

Jimbuna · 04-07-15, 11:42 AM

He's probably the only person fewer people listen to than even Miliband.
